[nysbirds-l] Harlequin Duck - Fort Salonga, Suffolk

2012-01-06 Thread Derek Rogers
I took a very brief detour to Callahan's Beach on 25A in Fort Salonga. 
Callahan's Beach is a Town of Smithtown Park with great views of the Long 
Island Sound as much of viewing can be done from high bluffs. 

At around 4:00 PM, I was working my way through roughly 85 common goldeneye 
when a stunning drake HARLEQUIN DUCK popped into my scope view. 

The group was located directly off of the beach access staircase adjacent to 
the turnaround area. Scope would be preferred and most likely necessary.
